Random Slow Network Backups


Recommended Posts

Recently I have noticed that backup speeds differ greatly from night to night. I have the same script running each night backing up to a different tape for each day of the week. Two or three days in a row the backup speeds are around 40 MB/Min and then for a day or two the speed goes down to 3 MB/Min. There is no pattern, some Tuesdays I get high speed and some Tuesdays I get 3 MB/Min. No one is working at night during backups and there are no network functions being run.

 

 

 

Any thoughts?

 

 

 

Thank You

Are these backups of the local machine or also clients on the network? If you have a mixture, try looking in your operations log (Reports > Log) or in your backup report (Reports > Report) for backup performance. Are the slow speeds on every computer? Only on network / client computers? Only on specific comptuers? Is there a discernable pattern?

 

 

 

The goal is to first isolate where the bottleneck is coming from and then move forward.
